Best raspberry experiences I’ve had were in my backyard or on hiking trails.
It’s all fun and games until you get raspberries popping up all over your yard. These fuckers have managed to travel over 10 feet to different garden plots somehow.
the somehow is bird poop. birds eat them and poop out the seeds, allowing them to be spread anywhere the bird goes. if you have some birds that frequent your garden you can blame them. also enjoy the raspberries :3
Holy shit why didn’t I realize this.
Also, those little shots!
Im eventually going to carve out a spot for raspberries. I imagine you have to weed the area often so it doesnt spread where you dont want it to.
Birds will eat them and poop out the seeds. You cannot contain brambles.
When it grows in lawn or other movable areas you can just mow it down. But if it gets to other plots, yeah you gotta pull em.
It’s kinda like mint? By not nearly as prevalent.
These guys have kind of ruined all the wild raspberries around me https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/spotted-wing-drosophila
They came here about 15 years ago and now all our wild blackberries have them.
It's fine as long as you wash and freeze the berries immediately after you get home. Else you get larvae.
Oh no, that sucks. I was up there in northern Wisconsin about 15 to 20 years ago. Sometimes I would see bugs on berries, but not often.
I've only been to places like the pnw when the berries are ripe a few times in my life. I've always wanted to go for like a month and just live off the berries that just grow everywhere. That's such a unusual thing for me to see and its amazing.
Go during blackberry season and it doesn't matter where you are wilderness, city, whatever, and you'll have your fill and then some. Moved to Sweden and I saw blackberries for sale and I was so shocked I shit myself right there in the store. They're an invasive weed that happens to be edible in Seattle people spend good money to get rid of them, and here it costs good money to get them
I grew up in the desert Southwest, where I never saw berries. Maybe there are some in the mountains. I don't know. I moved up to the great Lakes area and there are a ton growing wild. I lived in this one house that bordered a forest in the back and they were just so many raspberries. We just walk out and snack on them. My friend said they were highbush and little bush, blueberries, but I've never learned to identify those.Also, walking around the south shore of Lake Superior, there are amazing berries called thimbleberries. A thimbleberry is like a raspberry, in that it's made out of a bunch of little dots too, but each blib is smaller. It's so cool that you can just walk around in the woods and find a complimentary snack.
Which desert do you mean? the Atacama desert?
I'm nomadic but mainly stay in the rockies. There are strawberries in higher altitudes like >9k ft, but always tiny and grazed by the deer and other wild life. But I've been to the PNW when there are ripe blueberries, reneir(?) white cherries, blackberries, raspberries, every one of those types, then others like huckleberry I think, different style fruiting with round red berries. There's just food everywhere and it blows my mind. If I lived in a place like that I could forage a years worth of berry jam just on a daily stroll through the woods.
Just fyi, it's Rainier, like the mountain. And the neat thing about spelling Mount Rainier, (and also the cherries) is that it's spelled exactly like "more rainy, having more rain" which is a pretty good description except for winter when it should be Mount Snowier.
Lol, yeah I could've just looked it up but that shows me. I'm not from there. I love those cherries, I ate like 10lbs because they won't let you into Canada with them. The border guards were like yeah I get it at first but then it probably got to a concerning level.
